|  Would this TINY esc crawl well for a scale micro?
Would this esc crawl well? I want the smallest possible esc for a losi micro crawler build. I'm running 2s lipo. Specifications 9 Amp Peak, 3.5 Amp Continuous (> 10 minutes at 24Vdc) Full Current Limit and Thermal Protection Proportional Forward and Reverse (no delay), 0-100% PWM 6 to 24 Vdc Receiver Cable with Universal Plug Installed Power/Motor Leads Installed (22 AWG High Strand Count Silicone Wire) Size: 1.2" X 0.52" X 0.29" (Including Protective Covering) Weight: .33 oz / 9.4 grams (With 12" Cable and 6" Power/Motor Wires) 0.12 oz / 3.3 grams (Without Cable/Wires - Reference Only) +5 VDC BEC with Over Current, Short Circuit and Thermal Protection Neutral signal (center stick) safety start-up when powered on Safety shut-down when RC signal is lost with auto recovery Motor brake on neutral signal and direction change. Helps protect gears from over stress. All FETs are industrial/automotive grade components. Not commercial grade |

Its hard to compare these as the first esc is for brushed motors, the second is for brushless motors, as is the third, but since the third is an airplane esc and won't have reverse its not much good to a crawler. What motor are you planning on using anyway? Brushed or brushless? The brushed esc doesn't have a Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) which is a must for running Lipo as you can over discharge your battery without it, so if you're going this route get a low voltage indicator. And get yourself a BEC for it too. For a very small, high turn brushed motor, it should be fine. No delay reverse and 24 volt max are all good. |

On further reflection, I guess for now what I need is an esc that could work for the stock motor that isn't the esc/receiver combo. That will run a 2S lipo. I want to use an esc with more channels. Which one would work best for that? |

Castle Creations Sidewinder Micro Holmes Hobbies LLC / Holmes Bikes :: Motor Speed Controllers :: Castle Creations Sidewinder Micro Runs brushed or brushless motors, programmable, up to 35 amps with a 1.5 amp BEC, built in LVC so its LiPo ready. It just costs a little more and is a little bigger than what you're looking at. Not much bigger though. |

A Sidewinder Micro would likely be better, or (a little bigger) Mamba Micro Pro. Last edited by Charlie-III; 11-19-2011 at 03:36 PM. Reason: Fix a stupid typo......sigh | |
